Scarlet Feather is the story of two caterers, Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather, who start their catering business in Dublin after catering school and a few years preparing, working restaurant jobs, and catering on the side. But the main characters in Circle of Friends are younger for most of the book – college aged. Most people will have heard of Circle of Friends, which was made into a movie in 1995 and that one is very good, too. If you only read one Maeve Binchy story, though, Scarlet Feather is a great one to read. I could review all 17 novels in the order she wrote them here on the blog, but I think instead I’ll just review them randomly. Their behavior always make sense to them. But some of them are scoundrels or thieves or kidnappers. She creates a cozy yet fresh world with real characters whoĭo normal things which, for some reason, are enthralling. Contentment, satisfaction, pleasing without being boring, interesting without being overly dramatic. Clouds lounge in the sky and off in the distance you see the faint smear of rain, but it’s far off and moving away from you. Reading her books is like having a picnic with your favorite foods in a grassy meadow surrounded by chirping grasshoppers with a beloved pet curled up beside you. I could read them all, oneĪfter the other, and then upon finishing the lot, start over at the first one It is hard to pick a favorite book from among the wonderfulīooks that the incomparable Maeve Binchy wrote.
